@jeanna you’ll learn in time that Astrochuck is about as far from “too serious” as you can get. :). He’s a witty-one (as referenced by @essieness in her details of this question!).
@A_Beaverhausen: I stutter verrry rarely. But my boyfriend (who I am referring to so often today, I’m tempted to go undercover and call him a friend instead) stutters as part of his personal dialect—which is to say, on purpose. I’ve noticed my (non-purposeful) stuttering has gone up since knowing him. Luckily, I can camo it as his kind.
@A_Beaverhausen @essieness I’m the same way. Once I was in a heated argument with my husband and I got so nervous and upset (I hate confrontation) that I just came up with a terrible reply. I yelled “you fuckin fucker fucker fuck”. It became a new saying at his work the following day. sorry for so many f-bombs
@jonsblond I also hate confrontation for that very reason! My ex husband and I once got into it over something he wanted to buy (that something was going to require a loan) and I just couldn’t express to him in words why I wasn’t on board with the idea. I actually had to write him a letter and number off each reason so I could get my point across. He laughed as he read it, but ultimately, I won! It’s so frustrating though to become frozen like that in an argument.
Like @3or4monsters, self-discipline sums it up nicely. I have zero motivation most of the time, and it affects everything in my life! If I only had some self-discipline, maybe my house would be clean, my taxes done, and that book written. Sigh.
I wish I was better at making small talk. I would love to be one of those people who can engage anyone in conversation, but I’m just too shy – unless I know someone really well, I can never think of anything to say. I’m a little bit in awe of those socially-adept people…
My idiosyncracies fit me well so I really don’t have much to add to that. If I had to pick something, I guess I’d like to feel more comfortable meeting new people and engaging in conversations with them right from the start. In essence, being a little less shy I suppose.
Many! I wish i were funny, and more talkative, and less shy, and more confident, and not so lazy, and more patient and tolerant, and more caring towards those i don’t know.
@cak; That’s funny because you think your to controlling and I feel like I lack control. Put us together and we would probably have the perfect person!
@DutchCat – oh…..I’m contemplating sharing control. I’m sure my husband would get a kick out of the idea. or he’ll faint. He knows what a control freak I truly am!
